There are a number of "secret" passages out of Hogwarts that have been
sketched on the Marauders' Map... which a faithful Death Eater just
happened to *borrow* from Harry several months before Lord Voldemort's
rebirth (GoF). 

Remember what happened the last time a student (Neville Longbottom
we're looking in your direction- PoA) left vital Hogwarts information
lying around? I'm betting that at some point Lord Voldemort will try
to use a copy of the Map, if not the map itself, to storm Hogwarts
through those "secret" passages.
